About this study

Official title: Evaluation the Effect of Glycemic Control on Cardiac Function in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Evaluation of the effect of the Glycemic control on cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Read the detailed description

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common metabolic disorders worldwide and its development is primarily caused by a combination of two main factors: defective insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells and the inability of insulin-sensitive tissues to respond to insulin diabetes mellitus is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, which leads over time to damage to the heart,vasculature, eyes, kidneys and nerves.

Over 90% of diabetes mellitus cases are T2DM, a conditionmarked by deficient insulin secretion by pancreatic islet β-cells, tissue insulin resistance (IR) and aninadequate compensatory insulin secretory response . Progression of the disease makes insulinsecretion unable to maintain glucose homeostasis, producing hyperglycaemia.

T2DM is a multisystem disease with a strong correlation with CVD development T2DM leads to a two- to four-fold increase in the mortality rate of adults from heart disease and is associated with both micro- and macro-vascular complications, the latter consisting of accelerated atherosclerosis leading to severe peripheral vascular disease, premature coronary artery disease (CAD) . These factors lead to T2DM being considered a significant risk factor for CVD ]. These include the role of IR in atherosclerosis, vascular function, oxidative stress, hypertension, macrophage accumulation and inflammation Factors implicated in cardiovascular risk outcomes from T2DM and the interactions between them. T2DM derived hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and IR causes endothelial dysfunction, diabetic dyslipidemia and inflammation leading to atherosclerosis leading to CVD.

In addition, it is well documented that type 2 DM is associated with enhancement of platelet and hemostatic activities

Clinical trials have shown that intensive glucose control reduces the risk for microvascular complications among patients with type 2 diabetes, but its effect on CVD, including coronary heart disease (CHD), and peripheral arterial disease, is uncertain . Early data from the UKPDS (United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study) 34 suggested a protective effect of improved glucose control on CVD, CVD deaths, and all-causes mortality

Poor glycemic control and insulin resistance are associated with deterioration of heart failure and LV dysfunction . However, available data suggest no difference in the risk of worsening heart failure between subjecting patients to intensive glycemic control and standard treatment arms . The relationship between glycated hemoglobin (Hba1c) and LVEF remains unclear

Being tested
Echocardiogram

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EchocardiogramDevice

    Echo : for evaluation anatomical and functional alteration LV and diastolic dysfunction and myocardial reserve measure by LVEF by M-mode before the study and follow up echo assessment 3 months after glycemic control

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. functional alteration of left ventricel

    Echocardiography for evaluation anatomical (chamber demision by M - mode) and functional alteration LV and diastolic dysfunction and myocardial reserve measure by LVEF before the study and follow up echo assessment 3 month after glycemic control.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Function and Glycemic Control, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ramez Gamal Shawky, Doctor (+201206875833, ramez2941998@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

functional alteration of left ventricel (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jan 2025.
